Second BA in Accounting

[crimsonhairless]

Your Location: Virginia, United States
Your Age: 29
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelors in Accounting
Current Regional Accredited Credits: I have a Bachelor of Arts from a Canadian university (120 credits). Unlike the United States, there is no "accreditation body" that oversees the universities in Canada. Universities in Canada have degree-granting authority via an Act or Ministerial Consent from the Ministry of Education of the particular province.

Additionally I have a masters from Harvard which I believe is 30? grad level credits accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE). 

DegreeForum University Total Credits: 150 

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0

Any certifications or military experience?:No

Budget: I’d like to do this as cheaply as possible. Preferably under 4k if possible. 
Commitments: I work remotely 8-4. That’s about it. 
Dedicated time to study: I am no stranger to studying and can do as much as needed to pass a class. 
Timeline: Ideally within one calendar year but I’d love to go faster if possible. 
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None that I’m aware of. 

I’ve been interested in getting a business degree for a while now because my two other degrees are liberal arts focused. I’d like to pick up financial skills and I think accounting is the most ‘solid’ of the suite of business degrees. The UMPI accounting degree stood out to me and is probably my top choice. I’m not opposed to WGU but I suppose I prefer the fact that UMPI is a named state university. TESU is also something I’ve considered but I must confess despite reading so much about the university on this forum I’m still a little confused about their policies. I’ve read most of the other recent threads on this topic but am looking for things I haven’t considered or general advice. I’m hoping that my completed bachelors would count for a large portion of the degree. It also seems that recently the acceptance of Sophia credits by UMPI underwent some sort of revision? Thank you for any insights.

Basically, my recommendation is the UMPI BA Accounting. TESU BSBA Accounting is just a Business Admin degree with an Accounting AOS of 18 credits. WGU may be more expensive if you can finish UMPI in 1 session, even 2 sessions... You may want to review this thread here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...lor-Degree
